Holly Willoughby admitted she may want to have another child as she got intensely broody while touring a maternity ward with TV husband Philip Schofield.

The This Morning presenters visited Queen Charlotte's and Chelsea Hospital to meet NHS workers on the service's 70th anniversary, but they stopped in the ward where new mothers were welcoming their little bundles of joy.

The mother of three said: "Those first moments of giving birth, I just want to do it again."

Phil looked shocked and replied: "Don't do it!"

Holly added: "I know, I know, I can't help it."

Holly already as three children - Belle, Chester and Harry, but perhaps a fourth is on the cards.

The presenter married her partner, Daniel Baldwin, in 2007 and has had her three children in 2009, 2011 and 2014.

Throughout the programme Holly and Phil wandered around the hospital to speak to those who were receiving care from professionals, including those in the cardiology lab and on the maternity ward.

She has previously spoken about about the "nightmare" of having her third baby, to the extent that she had happily given up trying for another until today.

After Chester had "really bad reflux" and a tongue-tie, Holly felt like she was having her first baby again.

She said: "I think the biggest thing I’ve learnt along the way is just to give yourself a break. We’re all so worried about doing everything so perfectly.

"Actually, all they need is your time and your love. I know that sounds ridiculous, but it’s true.”

After having maternity leave from This Morning, she said she was happy to get some "essential maintenance" done again like having her make up done.

She said: "You go in and say, ‘Can you just pluck my eyebrows, please?’, and things like that. I leave feeling slightly normal again."

Holly and Phil ran back to the studio after visiting the hospital to meet Joanne Mas, Dani Dyer's mother to discuss all things Love Island .
